A better-than-expected third quarter earns Dell CEO Kevin Rollins some needed goodwill on Wall Street
In its first upbeat financial news in more than a year, Dell reported better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter, raising hopes that the PC maker may finally be finding its way out of a prolonged slump.
Some analysts said the results, which propelled Dell (DELL) shares up 8.6% in extended trading on Nov. 21, will buy more time and goodwill for company Chief Executive Kevin Rollins, who has faced heightened pressure to turn the company around.
Before the earnings release, Round Rock (Tex.)-based Dell had missed key financial targets in four of the previous five quarters. Although Chairman and founder Michael Dell has publicly stated his support for Rollins, analysts have been openly speculating whether Rollins, who has been CEO since mid-2004, may be pushed aside in light of Dell's recent performance and a sagging share price that's lost 12% of its value this year. According to industry sources, Dell has begun an effort to refresh the company's top management ranks (see BusinessWeek.com, 11/6/06 "Dell's Executive Search").
The world's second-largest PC maker didn't hold a conference call with analysts as it usually does when it announces earnings. But it appears to be concentrating on bolstering profitability instead of mainly increasing unit volumes, as it has done in recent quarters to try to boost market share.
Improving Margins, But How?
The company surprised analysts and investors with a jump in gross margin, which in the quarter ended Nov. 3 reached 17%, up from 16.2% a year ago and 15.5% in the previous quarter. Operating margin, another yardstick of profitability, was 5.7%—better than the 4.6% that some analysts were expecting. Analysts say that emphasizing profitability is the right move for Dell. "No one was expecting improvements of this magnitude," says Brent Bracelin, analyst at Pacific Crest Securities. "In terms of profitability, the worst of the company's troubles may be behind it."
Dell disclosed little specific information about just how it achieved those margin improvements. In a press release, the company said it "achieved a better balance of liquidity, profitability, and growth, which was driven by an improved mix of products worldwide." It cited increases in shipments of laptop computers and server and storage products. But it "said the same things in previous quarters," notes Shaw Wu, analyst at American Technology Research.
The company didn't disclose other details, such as the average selling price for its machines, or break out spending figures on research and general expenses, as it has done in the past. Dell also said that "in the near term, improvement in growth and profitability may not be linear due to a variety of factors, including the timing of continued investments" in customer service and new products. Translation: Margins and profitability increases might not be as strong in coming quarters because of increased spending, says Wu.
Rethinking Strategy
For the quarter, Dell posted revenue of $14.38 billion, up just 3.3% from a year ago. Net income rose 11.7%, to $677 million.
Dell's rate of sales growth is well below the year-ago level, when it posted an 11% increase. Evidence of slowing growth has made some investors and analysts wonder whether Dell needs to rethink its well-established "Dell way," which hinges on low-cost manufacturing and direct sales through an in-house sales force and over the phone and Internet.
Dell delayed a scheduled Nov. 16 results announcement, citing an ongoing Securities & Exchange Commission investigation. The probe, which has become formal after being an informal inquiry, centers on "certain accounting and financial reporting matters, including the possibility of misstatements in prior-period financial reports," Dell said, adding that results in its press releases "are subject to change to reflect any necessary corrections or adjustment."
For the moment, upbeat investors are "refocusing their attention forward to 2007 and 2008," when many business customers may be due for upgrading computer equipment to Dell's benefit, said analyst Bracelin. But if the company restates numbers substantially or reverts to the disappointing performance of recent quarters, shareholders may refocus attention once again, this time on selling Dell shares.

Protecting Your Child From Dehydration and Heat Illness
In this article
With the hot days of summer come summer sports -- baseball, tennis, football practice -- both in the neighborhood and at camp. Before you send the kids out to practice -- or just for a long day of play in the sun -- learn to protect your child against the dangers of dehydration and heat illness. WebMD turned to Albert C. Hergenroeder, professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and chief of the sports medicine clinic at Texas Children's Hospital, for answers to parents' common questions.
1. What puts my child at risk for dehydration?
U.S. Children's Medical Needs, by the Numbers
Racing champ Jeff Gordon's focus on children's health comes at a crucial time. The number of U.S. children with chronic health conditions has risen dramatically in the past four decades, according to a study published last June in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Some of the study's findings: Of 80 million children in America, about 8% (6.5 million) have chronic conditions that interfere with regular daily activity, says study author James M. Perrin, MD, professor of pediatrics...
Read the U.S. Children's Medical Needs, by the Numbers article > >
The same things that put you at risk for dehydration: prolonged exposure to high temperatures, direct sun, and high humidity, without sufficient rest and fluids. The difference is that a child's body surface area makes up a much greater proportion of his overall weight than an adult's, which means children face a much greater risk of dehydration and heat-related illness.
2. What signs of dehydration should we watch for?
Early signs of dehydration include fatigue, thirst, dry lips and tongue, lack of energy, and feeling overheated. But if kids wait to drink until they feel thirsty, they're already dehydrated. Thirst doesn't really kick in until a child has lost 2% of his or her body weight as sweat.
Untreated dehydration can lead to three worse types of heat illness:
- Heat cramps: Painful cramps of the abdominal muscles, arms, or legs.
- Heat exhaustion: Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, weakness, muscle pain, and sometimes unconsciousness.
- Heat stroke: A temperature of 104 or higher and severe symptoms, including nausea and vomiting, seizures, disorientation or delirium, lack of sweating, shortness of breath, unconsciousness, and coma.
Both heat exhaustion and heat stroke require immediate care. Heat stroke is a medical emergency that, when untreated, can be deadly. Any child with heat stroke should be rushed to the nearest hospital.
3. What can I do to prevent dehydration in my child?
Make sure they drink cool water and sports drinks early and often. Send your child out to practice or play fully hydrated. Then, during play, make sure your child takes regular breaks to drink fluid, even if your child isn't thirsty. A good size drink for a child, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics is 5 ounces of cold tap water or sports drink for a child weighing 88 pounds, and nine ounces for a teen weighing 132 pounds. One ounce is about two kid-size gulps.

Sustainability report says customers' water use has dropped sharply.
Newly combined technologies at Ecolab and Nalco created big water savings for hotel, food and energy customers worldwide, according to the 2011 Ecolab sustainability report released Thursday.
Nine months into the merger of the sanitizing and industrial water tech giants, the new $11 billion Ecolab has bragging rights.
According to the report, water cooling technology saved customers 351 billion liters of water last year.
Dry conveyor lubricants alone saved 9.4 billion liters of water in beverage, brewing, dairy and processing plants, including 1.8 million liters saved inside PepsiCo bottling plants. Lubricants, pretreatment, cooling and other systems reduced PepsiCo's water use by a total 662 million liters last year.
Ecolab's special laundry wash systems cut customer water use by 40 percent, while high-tech dishwashing machines reduced water consumption by restaurants and Marriott Hotels by 50 percent. Nalco's paper making mixing technology saved 8 billion liters of water.
The report went on to describe Ecolab's internal efforts. Projects inside Ecolab factories in Joilet, Ill., Marinsburg W.Va., saved 97 million liters of water.
The company says it still has work to do internally.
Nalco, which processes liquids used in industrial papermaking, oil exploration and refining, cut energy use by 8.4 percent in two years, but wants to slash 10 percent.
Ecolab set a goal in 2009 to reduce factory water use, disposed waste and wastewater by 18 percent by 2015. It cut disposed waste by 19.8 percent as of last year. But water use and wastewater increased as production rose.
Ecolab CEO Doug Baker said in a statement that the effort will continue. "We have a unique role to play in addressing some of the most challenging issues facing our planet," he said.

ABR is closely monitoring the violence in Israel. While we deplore the violence in the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip and the coastal region of Israel, we are grateful that it has not spilled over into the West Bank where the Khirbet el-Maqatir excavation is located. Our dig is in Area C, or the disputed territories; therefore, the Israeli military maintains a tight control there, including a guard tower that overlooks our site. In addition, we have armed security guards on our site while we are excavating. We have never needed the guards or felt in any way at risk. The Israeli Antiquities Authority will not allow us to excavate if there is any risk involved. There is no indication that they are concerned. We are confident that the 2015 excavation will be uninterrupted and safe. If the situation changes, we will take appropriate steps. Please join us in praying for peace in the land of the Bible.

Deacon Daniel Malyon Speaks at Winchester University
On Wednesday 11th June, Deacon Daniel Malyon spoke at Winchester University as part of the University's Religious and Theological Studies Postgraduate Seminar. As a former student of the University's Mth Orthodox Studies programme, he accepted the opportunity to present his research. The subject of his talk was 'The development of the Papal Election system in the Coptic Orthodox Church,' looking at the various influences which have influenced this system over the past two thousand years. The talk was well received and led to interesting discussions and observations on the Coptic Canonical tradition. Amongst other speakers were doctoral students and Father Nicholas Spencer of the Benedictine order, who spoke on the influence of Eastern Christian Mystical Theology on Medieval Western Christian thought. After the Seminar, the Orthodox students were invited for the Vespers service by Fr Andreas Andreopoulous of the Romanian Orthodox Church. This was followed by an address on 'Ethics and Empathy' by Lord Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury.
Ordination at London Mission
On 5 May, during the regular monthly celebration of the Divine Liturgy for the British Orthodox London Mission of SS. George & Paul the Hermit at St. George-in-the-East, Shadwell, Abba Seraphim ordained Daniel Malyon as a Subdeacon. Daniel is a member of the BOC Portsmouth Parish but whilst teaching near St. Albans, has been serving as a Reader attached to the Secretariat staff, so has been serving with Abba Seraphim at Babingley, Charlton and Shadwell. A graduate in theology, he is currently studying for his Master's degree in Orthodox Theology at the University of Winchester.
Assisting Abba Seraphim at the Liturgy were Fathers Simon Smyth and Peter Farrington as well as Deacon Theodore de Quincey. They were joined by two of Daniel's fellow Readers from Portsmouth, James Kelly and Anthony-Paul Holland.

It Will Be Great if 'The Fantastic Four' Isn't a Comic Book Movie
Features By Scott Beggs on July 16, 2014 | Be the First To CommentKate Mara doesn't read comic books, doesn't want to read comic books and won't need to read comic books in order to play The Invisible Woman in Fox's upcoming The Fantastic Four. That's because director Josh Trank told the cast they should avoid reading the comic books since the new movie won't be based on anything that's already down on ink and paper. This might be the best news possible for the genre. It's unsurprising, though, because comic book movies have largely outgrown their paged counterparts over the last decade even as productions remain near-slavish to stories we've read before, villains we already know and imagery that's taken directly from the source. Why is this great news? Because we're having our culture happily fed back to us as we ask for seconds and thirds, and that's a problem. It amazes me that some people rail against the unoriginality of remakes while cheering when the latest superhero movie announces that it'll be using That Storyline People Liked From The 80s as the basis for its script.
Meet The New 'Fantastic Four's Implausible Quartet
Movie News By Scott Beggs on February 20, 2014 | Comments (1)We've known for a while that Michael B. Jordan was going to bring his charm to The Fantastic Four reboot due next year from director Josh Trank, and now Variety has confirmed that The Human Torch will have some friends. Kate Mara will play The Invisible Girl, Miles Teller has been offered the role of Mr. Fantastic and Jamie Bell is expected to get the offer to play The Thing. The obvious takeaway is that this is more like The Abercrombie & Fitchtastic Four, but it's at least a little encouraging to see an interesting shift away from the decade-old franchise incarnation. Will any casting matter while the film is under Fox's roof? Maybe not. They haven't exactly had a strong track record when it comes to superheroes. But in a world full of middle-aged people wearing spandex, it'll be refreshing to see things tack a little younger. And just for fun, here are the new Fantastic Four members in their most recent projects. It should provide some — confusing — context. Squint and see if you can spot the powers:
Who Should You Be Rooting For on 'House of Cards'?
Features By Kate Erbland on February 18, 2014 | Be the First To CommentJust in time for Valentine's Day, Netflix gifted its subscribers with the full second season of its hit series, House of Cards, featuring a slam-bang season opener that left viewers reeling (and tweeting copious versions of "OH MY GOD") and that pushed already-nefarious characters to new levels of both evil and unlikability. No, there's no rule that characters need to be charming or likable or aspirational, but it sure is nice to watch a show that stars someone (anyone) whose actions you can respect and admire. The Underwoods and their lackeys have always been particularly underhanded, but the second season has already shoved them into new realms and practices of what is best described as over-the-top, unrelatable, and outsized evil. These are bad people doing very bad things, and as fun as it might be to watch them inflict their brand of political and personal striving on enemies, deserving or not, they are not the kind of characters anyone can actually root for. But if you can't back the two lead characters of a series, who can you? Spoilers ahead for the first episode of House of Cards' second series premiere.
Johnny Depp Is Controlling Your WIFI Signal, Fate of Mankind in New 'Transcendence' Trailer
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on February 12, 2014 | Comments (3)The future is a bleak and terrifying place. It's already been established in countless films that no matter what we do, we're doomed, so we might as well just embrace it. There's no hoverboards, okay? You're not going to be cruising down the street like Marty McFly, drinking your crazy Pepsi in the far-off glamorous land of 2015. It's far more likely that we're either going to bow down to our ape overlords after resisting but ultimately giving up because resistance is futile, or witness the rise of the machines. The singularity is coming. The new trailer for Wally Pfister's Transcendence is spelling out exactly what that means for Johnny Depp and his fellow scientists clearer than ever (It's destruction). The film follows a brilliant scientist only known at this point as Will (Depp), who is working toward building the singularity — a complex computer system advanced far beyond the knowledge of all other technology or mankind. He and his team have already made headway and are presenting their ideas at a TED-like conference when a group of anti-AI terrorists (led by Kate Mara) take on the dual task of his assassination and destroying his research.
'House of Cards' Season 2 Trailer: Democracy is Overrated
Features By Scott Beggs on January 7, 2014 | Comments (2)When Kevin Spacey looks dead straight into the camera and says, "Welcome back," in the House of Cards season 2 trailer, I don't know whether to be proud or terrified. Proud because it means another installment of the political horror show built on a spider web foundation. Terrified because it means Spacey will continue to talk to the audience directly. That was one of the clunkier elements of an otherwise lung-squeezingly tight show, but it's easy to shrug away once the intensity of the trailer grabs hold. For the most part, it looks like the same gang of players is rigging the game as the newly nominated Vice President Underwood loads the dice. Check out the trailer for yourself:
This Is Either The New 'Fantastic Four' or an Abercrombie & Fitch Ad
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on October 10, 2013 | Comments (2)Variety is reporting that the shortlist for Fox's new Fantastic Four reboot is skewing young. The breakdown of testing actors includes Michael B. Jordan still being floated as The Human Torch; Miles Teller, Kit Harington and Jack O'Connell (Skins) for Reed Richards; and Saoirse Ronan, Kate Mara and possibly Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) for Sue Storm. Granted, Mara is 30, and Jessica Alba was 24 when she was cast in the role less than a decade ago, but the rest of the list tops out at 26 years for several of the gents while Ronan (the most veteran of the crew) won't be able to drink legally in the States for a year and a half. In the previous incarnation, Ioan Gruffudd brought some grounding maturity, but the new vision may be looking to bring in adult supervision solely with Ben Grimm — unless they cast another 20-something for The Thing, too. Honestly, all of this is kind of cool. At the very least it brings a different angle to a franchise whose renewed existence is aggressively shrug-worthy. It's also a way to make a natural through line for Chronicle director Josh Trank as he takes on legacy superheroes for a change. There are a ton of middle-aged heroes out there, so maybe it's time for a different flavor in the buffet of spandex and capes. Of course, regardless of who they cast, it'll still be a superhero movie produced by Fox and written by the guy who wrote This […]
Casting Couch: Anne Hathaway and Chloe Moretz Are Gal Pals, Kate Mara Achieves 'Transcendence,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's a roundup of all the day's casting developments that are fit to print. Read on to find out about a cool cameo Gareth Edwards set up for Godzilla. Though she's still in the early stages of her directing career, Lynn Shelton (Humpday, Your Sister's Sister) has already proven that all she really needs is a couple of good actors and a room to shoot in, and she'll be able to make a good movie. It stands to reason, then, that her next project could be the biggest thing she's ever done, because Deadline is reporting that it's close to landing a trio of high profile and extremely talented actors. Anne Hathaway, Chloe Moretz, and Sam Rockwell are all close to signing on for Laggies, which sees Hathaway playing an immature twenty-something who hides from her life for a week with her new teenage best friend (Moretz) after she's spooked by a marriage proposal. Rockwell is reportedly up for the role of some old dude named Craig.
Review: 'House of Cards' is 'Game of Thrones' in Modern Day DC
Features By Scott Beggs on February 6, 2013 | Comments (3)The similar structure of their titles isn't the only thing Game of Thrones and the new Netflix series House of Cards have in common. The first is set in a brutal Medieval-style fantasy world, and the second is set in present-day Washington, DC, but the scheming and lustful grabs at power are pulsing wildly at the heart of each. Of course they have their differences as well. Since Cards focuses on House Majority Whip Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey), it's maybe more exact to call it a version of Game of Thrones told almost explicitly through Tywin Lannister's point of view. The congressman is aggressive and shrewd in his search to become President, but as the complete 13-episode season of the show (or 13-hour movie-you-have-to-keep-pressing-play-to-see) proves, there are other combatants willing to protect their interests just as fiercely and just as intelligently.
Review: Limp 'Deadfall' Rests on Eric Bana's Shoulders
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on December 7, 2012 | Comments (2)Deadfall is a prime example of a film losing steam too quickly, making it an exceedingly weak and limp effort from The Counterfeiters director Stefan Ruzowitzky. What starts off as a promising, chilly crime yarn turns out to be another generic thriller, always hitting the beats we expect. The structure is in place to make for a decent B-movie, but Ruzowitzky deflates almost every scene with standard, by-the-book flat filmmaking. How formulaic is it? This formulaic: Jay (Charlie Hunnam) has just been released from prison. Don't worry, though, he's really a (mildly) innocent man. He also isn't your "average criminal," because most criminals don't happen to be former Olympian boxers. Who live by the border of Canada. Who get tangled up in some bad (read: nearly wacky) situations. It's just a real shame for Jay that two casino-robbing siblings, Addison (Eric Bana) and Liz (Olivia Wilde), attempt to take advantage of him and his family on Thanksgiving. Their plan heats up, though, once Liza and Jay start to feel something for one another. Obviously, nothing new going on there. What is missing to make it work is any sense of investment from Ruzowitzky. He takes joy in constructing some of the film's action, but when it comes to Hunnam's character, his dopey love story, and his conflict with his parents, Ruzowitzky appears more bored with it all than we are.
Review: Star-Studded '10 Years' Isn't Worth a Watch, Even With an Open Bar
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on September 14, 2012 | Comments (1)The high school reunion film genre has been so flooded with entries that it's reached the point of being nothing short of played out, so any new entry needs to justify its existence by offering some kind of unique spin on the usual, or at least by featuring characters that transcend the normal archetypes. Writer-director Jamie Linden fails on both counts in his 10 Years and seems to think that the film's all-star cast compensates for those deficiencies. It doesn't. No matter how much you love Channing Tatum, Aubrey Plaza, Anthony Mackie, Chris Pratt, Ari Graynor, or any of the other notables who turn up here, there's no getting around the simple, basic fact that Linden's movie doesn't tell a story. It merely brings to life the world's least interesting reunion, featuring a swath of staggering dullards played by talented people.
'10 Years' Trailer: The Rich Man's 'American Reunion'
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe high school reunion comedy is a sub-genre that's ripe with drama and conflict. You've got the lost loves, the old rivalries, the people who have improved their stations in life butting up against those who have been taken down a peg, the people who have refused to grow up interacting with those that have gotten completely lame, and probably a handful of other familiar tropes that always seem to pop up. But that means that the high school reunion comedy is also a sub-genre that's ripe with cliché, because, let's face it, every single movie that falls into it always covers these exact same things. What's the secret of making a good one then, if there isn't much room for being unique? Probably making sure that the familiar material is at least infused with wit, and getting a talented cast to deliver it. Just from the trailer for 10 Years, it's clear that this movie has the latter part of that equation taken care of. Just look at the names in this cast: Channing Tatum, Rosario Dawson, Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Oscar Isaac, Justin Long, Ron Livingston, Kate Mara, Ari Graynor, etc… Whether this movie feels a little familiar or not, with a cast like that there's guaranteed to be something in there worth watching.
Happythankyoumoreplease unfolds in familiarly quirky, coming-of-age indie territory. Yet, despite its propensity for clichés and occasionally sappy tone, as exemplified by the film's tagline – "go get yourself loved" – there's an uncomfortable honesty at the heart of writer-director-star Josh Radnor's first behind-the-camera effort. Somehow, the manifold plot devices (alopecia, photography, a cute foster kid) never detract from the picture's winning evocation of the peculiar status of life spent as a struggling twenty-something, barely afloat in New York City. Radnor's script is well-attuned to the lonely disorientation of being young and less than wealthy in the increasingly gentrified, high-end Big Apple and the daunting soul-searching that comes with the realization that maybe you were never meant to make it.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: November 19, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on November 19, 2010 | Comments (1)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr puts on a wizard's robe, wears a colorful scarf and dances around in the woods with his magic wand yelling, "Stupify!" And that's just to celebrate the release of Fair Game in his home town. He also takes a look at this little independent film that few people have even heard of, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. Sadly, a bizarre mishap with his wizarding skills causes a boulder to fall on his hand and pin him for 93 minutes, which was actually quite fortunate because it gave him just enough time to watch 127 Hours.

Here is my situation:
The western wall of my home is always hit with the most amount of rain water. It then dips off the exterior in the general vicinity of the wall as well. When we built I never thought about the water that might be absorbed in the space between the first floor and the waterproofing at the soil line. We are considering finishing the basement and while we have never had any water problems I think it might be in our best interests to waterproof the outside. I have thought that a drip ledge installed right on top of the waterproofing materials and then putting an exterior grade waterproof paint on the exposed masonry block. Does this sound about right? Anyone have any suggestions as to what "paint" is the best for this kind of project? Thank you |

Most interior water is the result of improper grading on the exterior of the house. Could be your guttering system needs to be tweaked to take the water further from your foundtion. Go outside during a rain storm and take a good look as to what is going on. Is your water table low? if so this would be another cause and require a sump pump, but I suspect this is not the case. The slope on the outside of your house may just need to be adjusted. Easy to fix and no need to dig up the foundation soil. |
- Posted by columbusgardener (My Page) on Fri, Oct 12, 07 at 19:31
actually there is no real water - just when we have a shower the space between the house and the grade line gets wet I can see where it could be a problem. Below the grade there is no dampness - and I have never had the sump pump turn on. |

should he be crawling by now
Some babies never crawl. My neighbor's baby never crawled. Just started walking at 11 months.
Every kid develops differently. He will get it. My son will be 2 years next month and he is not really talking yet.
my daughter started crawling i say about 10 months, n she just started from a laying position to sitting up by herself now, she could only sit up when i put her that way, but now she good on sitting, and crawling, she is a year old and not walking yet, the dr not worried unless she turns 15 months n still not walking, but every child is different as they say
This sounds perfectly normal and please try not be too concerned about this, all babies have their own time table on when they will do things, and crawling is one of them, some babies never crawl, they just start pulling up on things and before you know it they are walking. I would check with your pediatrician and see what he or she says if you have more concerns about this issue, than are being addressed here.

What should the change of plane caulk joint look like? I have a Swanstone shower pan which has a lip of about an inch. The original caulking done by the installer was a "coved" joint overlapping the lowest tile and continuing onto the pan's lip. Recaulking has been done the same way. However, I feel that using the squeegee shortens the life of the silicone as it tears the thinner, more fragile top edge.
Should a correctly done caulk joint look like the coved look or the recessed hidden one in my sketchy sketch? Helene |
Follow-Up Postings:
Coved is easier to clean. It can be done either way, but, with it "coved", it's just more caulk and should last longer. And, when it starts looking bad, you can see it. The "grout" looking style could shrink or wear...and you might never know it. |
That's exactly why I'm having this dilemma. It's easier to sweep the squeegee over the coved caulk, but it shreds the thin top edge and allows it to have mold and water enter. I'm wondering if doing it the "grout" way, recessed, would look better and, hopefully, last longer, but I'm looking for people who have done it to give their experiences. Thanks for replying, Dando. Helene |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 18:24
Nice use of Pages for iPad, Dando! |
Writersblock, What do you mean? I caulked mine like the grout, just so it would look the same. It is harder to clean, and basically re-caulk is every year. Since, ya don't really know when it's peeling out or shrinking or cracking. (just harder to see). |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 22:14
Oh, sorry, I meant blubird's drawing. Sorry for the confusion. |
You're welcome, writersblock ;-). Too bad Pages doesn't have decent drawing tools like Macwrite and Appleworks in days of old. I'm a happy camper with my iPad...waiting for tomorrow's...err....today's big announcement. Dando, re-caulking every year would be wonderful. Mine seems to need to be redone every 6 months...I manage to stretch it out but it's not a thing of beauty. I appreciate you sharing your experiences. Helene |
Mine may very well need it every 6 months, but, it's difficult to tell. (if it's bad/ugly, it doesn't show). Probably doesn't get cleaned around the floor as often or as well as it should either. The way the inside of a shower should be constructed, shouldn't need caulk to "seal" or "prevent" intrusion. What is behind the the tile, or behind what you see is what should prevent water from going too far. (an exception would be around a faucet or shower head arm, but, there should not be a steady flow of water directly on those items) The caulk around corners is for expansion/contraction. In places where grout would crack...caulk will flex instead. Where the floor meets my wall, I run a strip of tape on each side of the seam. I then caulk the seam, and wipe most of back out with my finger. That creates your "cove", BUT, I wiped most of it out....so...cove is actually back inside, or flush with the seam. (looks like a grout line). |
I prefer like grout, especailly if you are using caulk that matches the grout. The cove ends up when the tile setter puts the tile tight to the floor (or tub) and fails to leave enough gap for caulk. It makes for a wider caulk line, and I do not agree it is easier to clean. The feathered edges tend to get damaged quickly and can look pretty bad after only a few cleanings. |
I lean toward mold colored grout and caulk also. Not really, but....the thought has crossed my mind a time or two..LOL! |
I'm with you, Dando. Mold colored grout/caulk would be wonderful; unfortunately it's grouted with Tek's Pearl. Actually, the grout is in wonderful condition. Now does the advice for the appearance of that horizontal change of plane seam change if I use silicone as opposed to siliconized acrylic? And....can I continue to use silicone for the vertical seams and use the tile-matching acrylic for that horizontal seam? Do they get along well together? Helene |

Homer Laughlin Building
The Homer Laughlin Building, at 317 South Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles, is a landmark building best known for its ground floor tenant the Grand Central Market, the city's largest and oldest public market.
Built by retired Ohio entrepreneur Homer Laughlin (founder of the Homer Laughlin China Company), the Homer Laughlin Building was the Los Angeles's first fireproofed, steel-reinforced structure. The original six-story building was designed in 1896 by architect John B. Parkinson.
In 1905 the structure was expanded through to Hill Street, called either the Laughlin Annex or the Lyon Building. This design by architect Harrison Albright was the first reinforced concrete building in Los Angeles.[1] The first tenant was the Ville de Paris Department Store, replaced in 1917 by the Grand Central Market, which still occupies the ground floor of the building. The location was chosen because of its proximity to the Angels Flight Railway allowing for easy access to the well to do citizens of Bunker Hill.
In the 1920s the building served as an office for the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.[2]
The original building was built in the Beaux Arts style, but subsequent modifications drastically changed its appearance including the addition of a tile façade in the 1960s which hid the second story windows. Along with the attached Million Dollar Theater Building, the Homer Laughlin Building and the Grand Central Market underwent a major renovation in the 1990s under the direction of developer Ira Yellin and architect Brenda Levin. As part of the restoration residential units were added, creating downtown Los Angeles's first true mixed use developments in decades.[citation needed]
Grand Central Market General Manager Filomena Eriman adds, "Ethnicity has changed. The population and the merchants have changed also. It's now, we have more Hispanic merchants and customers are eighty to ninety percent Spanish."
